Both keepers were called into action in an evenly-matched first half, with Isca's Ffion Barham scooping the player-of-the-match award with her fine display.

Hutchings then scored and Isca should have had more as they missed a number of chances.

Isca then conceded an equaliser as they pushed up, but a draw still represented a decent result for the Devon side.

After recovering from a particularly sluggish start, Isca went on to record an emphatic victory over Ashmoor thanks to Jo Burrington's hat-trick.

The visitors were stubborn and well-organised, and it took a fine passing move for Burrington to notch her first of the match.

The same player then had the final touch on a shot to make it 2-0, before sealing her treble just before the break.

Winger Sophie Bailey won the player-of-the-match gong after an energetic performance down the flank as Isca could and should have added to their tally.

Ashmoor managed to pull one back late on as they launced a number of good attacks, but it was little more than a consolation as Isca secured three deserved points.

A lethargic first-half performance saw Exe play out a draw with Dart.

It was obvious the girls had not played for a few weeks such was the lack of energy and cohesion on display from both sides.

Both teams woke up after the break and, following a team talk and a couple of changes, Exe played with a renewed focus.

In an evenly-matched half, both sides failed to score on penalty corner opportunities as they went on the hunt for the victory.

But it was to no avail as they played out an almost inevitable draw.
